I’ve been consistently journaling for 25 years now. I have no doubt that this has been the most important habit in my life that helps me stay sane (or at least return to sanity when stress, confusion, or circumstances knock me down). This is what I think is most important about journaling: find what works for you. What do you want to get out it? That’s really all that matters. When I boil it down to the simplest reason for me, I journal because I like how it makes me feel. I look forward to ho

The writing process can seem daunting if you're just finding out how to start writing a novel. Here are some tips and resources from my own writing process.
Does it ever happen to you that you think about drawing something but when you actually draw it and see that it’s nothing like what you had in mind? Yes?? Oh, it happens with me too. God! So many times it has happened to me that what I have actually drawn is nothing like my imagination. Then I had to start all over again. But again, something is imperfect and the story goes on. Sometimes it’s the nose of a person that I messed up and sometimes colours in the drawing that ruins the beauty of it rather than enhancing it.
For when you just cannot.

We love to share all of our lives on social media, what we wear, what we eat, where we go and most importantly our friends and family. For many of us our dogs fall in the friends and family category. These furry playmates are more than animals, they are jokesters, guardians and sometimes even models.
I was grew up in Los Angeles, not too far from what was once Immaculate Heart College (IHC). Perhaps one of the biggest legacies of IHC is Sister Mary Corita, better known to many as Corita Kent, artist-activist and chairperson of the IHC art department from 1951-1968. Do you know about Corita Kent? In her own […]
English: Ammonites are fossilized sea creatures, the forefathers of the Nautilus. They are formed like ram’s horns, named after the Egyptian god Amon whose animal was the ram. Once, ammonites roamed the seven seas, all bright and fearsome. Now, all we have are some dull colored stones. This is your opportunity to give them back their sparkle! For the mathematically inclined: Each section is build up according to the Fibonacci sequence (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, …). As the Fibonacci sequence is a model for natural growth, the ammonites look rather realistic. There are two versions given in the pattern: For a fast-growing ammonite and for a slow-growing one. Tentacles are optional. The ammonite is worked in Tunisian crochet, with short rows. These stitches are based on the Tunisian Simple Stitch. They are also known as linked stitches . All new terminology is explained in the pattern. The pattern comes with picture tutorials for all stitches and techniques used. yarn: 4ply cotton. Yarn can be substituted ad libitum. hook: 3 mm (US size C or D) You do not need a special Tunisian hook for this pattern! other notions: polyfill and a darning needle Gauge is not important for this pattern. Just chose a hook that gives you a dense fabric. Thanks to Waldmaus for proofreading and to the member of the free pattern testers group for testing! The pattern is available in (US) English and German. Ammoniten sind urzeitliche Versteinerungen von Weichtieren, die eine spiralige Schale hatten (benannt nach dem ägyptischen Gott Amon, dem der Widder zugeordnet war). Die heutigen Nachfahren dieser Tiere heißen Perlboot oder Nautilus und haben Schalen aus Perlmutt. Für mathematisch Interessierte: Jeder Abschnitt basiert auf der Fibonacci-Reihe (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, …). Da die Fibonacci-Reihe ein Model für natürliches Wachstum ist, sieht der Ammonit recht realistisch aus. Die Anleitung umfaßt zwei Varianten, einen Ammonit mit schnell wachsender Schale und einen mit langsam wachsender Schale. Tentakel sind optional. Der Ammonit wird mit verkürzten Reihen von einfachen tunesischen Maschen gehäkelt, die auch verbundene Stäbchen genannt werden. Alle Maschen und Techniken werden bebildert erklärt. Garn: vierfädige Baumwolle. Das Garn kann beliebig ersetzt werden. Häkelnadel: 3 mm. Es muss keine spezielle tunesische Häkelnadel sein. anderes: Füllwatte und eine Stopfnadel Eine Maschenprobe ist nicht nötig. Das Gehäkelt sollte nur dicht sein, damit es ausgestopft werden kann. Vielen Dank an Waldmaus fürs Korrekturlesen und an alle, die frühere Versionen der Anleitung testgehäkelt haben! Die Anleitung ist auf deutsch und auf englisch erhältlich. Eine frühe Version der Anleitung war im Häkelclub der Handarbeitsfrauen, für einen CAL im November 2009. Die aktuelle Version ist vom Juli 2013.

At a recent family gathering, I was asked what was the purpose of making art. My answer, “Because it is fun.” And that was enough of a reason for me. You can guess that it wasn’t enough for him so I asked him why he played golf. His answer, “Because he enjoyed it.” At that moment, a […]

By day, Johan Deckmann analyzes the human behavior; by night, he writes down his observations as titles for fictional self-help publications. Using books found in antique shops as a canvas, the practicing psychotherapist transforms their boring covers into witty jokes. Even though most of his pieces balance between the hilarious and the poignant, their faded color and worn texture take the readers on an emotional journey of self-reflection and soul-searching.
When Ani Castillo, Mexican cartoonist immigrated to Canada, she faced a very difficult time adapting to the fact that she had to start her life from scratch, learn to speak a new language and be away from her family.She then sought some help and a brilliant psychologist in training took her under her wing. Together they found ways for Ani to cope with the challenges. One of them was this cartoon, Imaginary Friend. The name refers to the years when Ani wouldn't dare to speak for fear of embarrassing herself in the new language, but her mind would be flooded with an incessant chatter.Like pinning a butterfly, Imaginary Friend helps Ani to "pin a thought" and understand it better. After almost a decade of leaving her homeland, she's beginning to feel like she can actually thrive in her new country.
